Congo (Brazzaville) - Open Study/Research Award

The Fulbright U.S. Student Program in the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville) aims to strengthen educational and cultural relationships between the United States and the Republic of Congo (Brazzaville). This award supports independent study or research projects for 6-9 months with flexible start dates between August 2026 and March 2027. Applicants should have experience working in developing countries where communications, travel and health infrastructure are extremely limited. French language proficiency at an advanced level is required. Independent research should be the primary grant activity, though candidates may be able to take university coursework. It is the applicant's responsibility to secure affiliation with an appropriate host institution, with Marien Ngoubi University being the only public university in the Republic of Congo.
